Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hi Folks. From time to time people come to visit our training sessions at the Buntingford Karate Club, sometimes they are spies from other clubs (whom I usually spot as such within seconds of them arriving) but more often than not they are other Martial Artists, usually with a Karate background who come to see what we do and how […]
Hi Folks. Well I knew that it would happen one day, it was just a matter of time. When Harry first joined the Buntingford Karate Club he took his training very very seriously and was constantly asking me “when can I take my next grading?” so that I had to rein him in a bit. Harry also joined a local […]
Hi All. Just to let you know that I have just received a letter from Edwinstree School whom we rent the gym from for use as our Dojo. The School have decided that with effect from 1st April 2016 the cost of the hire of the gym is to go up. Unfortunately this will have an immediate knock-on effect for […]
Tuesday 10th November saw the first ever lesson given by our 2nd Kyu Brown Belt Rick to the members of the Buntingford Karate Club. Rick decided to hang his lesson around some of his favourite techniques.

Harry gave them a wide range of combination basics and […]
Hi Folks. Last weekend CJ, the resident Weapons Expert at the Buntingford Karate Club, went on an eleven and a half mile run over 23 obstacles and through mud, slop, lakes, smoke, electric charges, tunnels, scramble nets, monkey bars and many other ghastly obstacles to raise money for a charity dealing with cancerous brain tumours. Was he successful?…..Of course he […]
Hi All. As our name suggests, the Buntingford Karate Club operates in Buntingford which is a small market town in Hertfordshire (England). Due to the Government going building crazy lots of towns in England have been targeted for extra housing, and Buntingford is one of them. My town is set to almost double in size in the next few years. […]
Hi all. This is Kyler. He has just gone through his first grading for 9th Kyu (Red Belt) with the Buntingford Karate Club and doesn’t he look pleased with himself?
Hi there. Last night (Tuesday) Rick went for his 2nd Kyu (Brown Belt + 1 white stripe) at the Buntingford Karate Club. Rick is a very strong man and he works out with weights at a gym. When he first joined us I had a bit of a challenge in reining him in because of his natural power. However Rick […]
